I have some pre bonsai with me that I started from a kit. I moved them from the peat pots to individual pots a month ago. I wanted to ask what kind of fertilizer I should use and how often, since it is fall here in southern california. Thank you. I have 3 species: Pinus Aristata, jacaranda mimosifolia and picea abies.

any regular fertilier will do. I would think however that the pinus and picea are going to go into winter mode soon and will not need fertilizer. Rememberto bring your jacaranda in a frost-free place, ideally above 15 degrees to keep it happy.

They are not that old. I recently started it around 3 months ago. The only reason I repotted was because they were overcrowding my pot.
